Students involved in the USC
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
community reacted with excitement
to President Barack Obama signing
the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell”
policy into law Tuesday.
The policy, signed into action
by President Bill Clinton in 1993,
prohibited gays and lesbians from
serving openly in the military.
Congress initiated the repeal last
December when it voted to rescind
DADT and was followed by the
signing of a certification in late July
issuing a 60-day waiting period,
which ended today.
Obama said the repeal will not
diminish military readiness.
The end of DADT was met with
much celebration from the Queer
and Allied Student Alliance, which
has actively campaigned in favor of
the repeal for months.

USC Latino Forum hosted a celebration Tuesday
noting the donation of the personal and professional
papers of Rubén Salazar, a prominent Mexican-
American journalist.
The documents, which were donated by Salazar’s
children, will be permanently housed in Doheny
Memorial Library for research purposes.
The collection includes Salazar’s professional work
at the Los Angeles Times, where he covered the war
in Vietnam, the massacre of student protesters in
Mexico before the 1968 Olympics and the late 1960s
Chicano Movement.
Félix Gutiérrez, a professor of journalism, who
facilitated the donation from Salazar’s children, said
research on Salazar will give undergraduate and
graduate students hands-on experience with the
late journalist’s letters, documents, notes and article
drafts.
Gutiérrez said Salazar is the most honored Latino
journalist in American history.
“He helped others understand a complex
commnunity that was a relatively small part of Los
Doheny now

Low blood sugar makes it more difficult
for the body to resist high-calorie food, ac-cording
to a USC-Yale study published in the
Journal of Clinical Investigation on Monday.
The research was conducted by Kathleen
Page, assistant professor of clinical medicine
in the Keck School of Medicine division of en-docrinology,
while she was at Yale University.
“Sugar is the man fuel source for the brain,
so when sugar levels are low that makes us
hungrier,” Page said. “In this study we want-ed
to determine what kinds of foods the
brain is hungry for when sugar levels are low.”
Page’s team used a special type of MRI to
measure brain activity when test subjects
were shown high-calorie foods, like cookies
and pizza, and low-calorie foods, like fruits
and vegetables.
“The region that normally activates in
resistance to high-calorie foods — the pre-frontal
cortex at the front of the brain — was
much less activated when the subjects were
hungry,” Page said. “Our findings suggest
that when sugar levels are low, the body is less
able to resist high-calorie foods.”
Students said their eating habits often
mirror the study’s findings. D.J. Banton, a
freshman majoring in screenwriting, said
her busy schedule prevents her from eating
meals on a regular basis.
“I often have to skip meals because of
school,” Banton said. “My mind says you
deserve something decadent because you
haven’t eaten all day.”
Other students said they make time to eat
well. Hikaru Komiyama, a freshman major-ing
in psychology, said she pursues a healthy
lifestyle despite the confines of her meal plan.
“Sometimes I’ll go to EVK and just grab
fruit for breakfast,” Komiyama said. “At
lunch and dinner my roommate and I always
get salads. It’s easy to make healthy choices,
if you want to.”
USC Hospitality said it will continue ef-forts
to make healthy foods readily available.
Executive Chef Eric Ernest told the Daily
Trojan he planned to sell an original line of
healthy grab-and-go foods throughout cam-pus,
so students in a rush can grab a quick,
nutritious snack, last November.
Seeds Marketplace now sells natural and
raw juices, berry and yogurt parfaits, fresh
made sushi, options and protein-stacked
sandwiches as part of the effort, Ernest said.
“We have a full line of natural snacks
available at most retail units and many at
Seeds Marketplace, which we’ve received
positive comments about as they are mobile,”
Ernest said in an email.
Students are taking advantage of these ad-ditions,
according to Ernest.
“Healthy snack options continue to per-form
well in all units, especially residential
dining,” Ernest said. “We have had a great re-sponse.”
Some students said they are more like-ly
to buy unhealthy snacks because they are
cheaper than healthier options. Nick Farmer,
a freshman majoring in interactive media
and theater, said he finds it hard to rational-ize
buying expensive health food.
Regular meals help healthy eating, study finds.
The university also began offering
more healthy snacks last year, a goal
of USC Executive Chef Eric Ernest.
